Fred I'm leaning your way a little as I cannot for the life of me understand why seemingly sensible senior managers would go out of their way to look so stupid? Especially Denis, he has done all of the talking to date and there is no way that he would sit there like a stunned mullet unless it was planned. He is a very smooth talker and DOES know all of the facts. Your other point about getting finance for the OPES shares is correct, you cannot walk into your local bank and get $15m just for the heck of it and even more so you cannot convince investors, gangsters or anyone else to cough up that type of dough unless they know that "multiples" of that figure will be coming back to them?? Maybe they do want to keep the price low until the "scientists" get theirs, who knows? I just know that there has been a lot of money thrown at SLA to recover from OPES and I need to understand why?
